Substantial open-plan and modern style free house set well back from road with tiled floors and decorated with photos and artefacts mainly related to a former WW2 airbase (Rougham) that is located nearby. Food is available all week (including a popular roast on Sundays) and two pleasant conservatories overlook the garden and provide excellent views of the surrounding area. The original building was much extended about 20 years ago. In recent years the pub has become increasingly encroached by new housing as the suburbs of Bury St Edmunds continue to expand.

Note

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was a four-engine heavy bomber aircraft developed for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) in the 1930s. The B-17 was subsequently used by the US Army Air Forces (USAAF) in their daylight precision strategic bombing campaign of WWII against German industrial, civilian, and military targets from 1943-45 and many were based on Suffolk airfields. Of the 1.5 million tonnes of bombs dropped on Germany by U.S. aircraft, 640,000 were dropped from B-17s. About 4,750, or one third, of B-17s built were lost in combat.
